That's OK I was just taking my time to sus out a few DS riders whose strengths I was unsure of. Onwards and upwards from here!  3

I think the penalties are only worth it if you have 2/3/4 transfers going into the mountains on the Grand Tours and you need 3/4/5 transfers to get in the 5-7 guys who will be out in front

I would have had 20 points more if I had not subbed sagan, experiment that shows penalties are not worth it except in dire need.

Bit disspondant, in my eyes the season long has gone. 7th to 87th, and 400 points behind ryl. Only interest is will jauman catch him, even though there is a long way to go.

Just watched Hoy awesome.
Must be nice to have a 6 grand Pinerello just for cooling down on.  4

Yeah, big shout out to Anthony McCrossan, he's single-handedly kept the wider cycling world abreast of what's being going on through his tweets.

As for Gkam's 'tips,' earlier this week I bought a bag of some rather nice Portuguese sea salt to keep handy whenever he offers them  3

whoot!

Took the gamble on Denis Galimzyanov & Baden Cooke paid off with Denis's 4th. (gained all of 3 points)

So 1, 2, 4, 5 9 & 13, GC 3 Points 1, 2, 3, 4 Youth 1 + Sagan 2nd in intermediate sprint

So a reasonable 166 points for the day, hope to see a green arrow on the overall for me today, most the peeps ahead should of scored in the 140 range

Stage 1 and 6 were slow to update, the rest of the ASO website has not been to bad, without Ant out in Oman, this tour would have been a waste of time

Following @antmccrossan on twitter - he's out there commentating. Admittedly it's the initial results. But it's a good indicator  4
